voltage 3800 problems

Thanks Y-guy. I found out several months later, that it wasn't even presentable when the carrier arrived at the dealership. They spent the initial few days cleaning out the inside as it looked like a "dumpster" in the inside. They also had to spend time stapling trim back on, repair speakers falling out, etc, before I showed up ( an hour drive) to look at it. After a day of looking it over, and pointing out more problems and having them fixed also, I took it home.Since then, it has to be constantly repaired. Gas tank was full of welding slag and rods, plumbing leaks, slides falling apart, trim falling off, plug-ins pulling out of the wall, sofa slide glide wheels gouging the kitchen flooring, slide windoe inproperly assembled that screens would not fit, exterior screw heads popping off monthly, recliner chair came apart, decals coming off, soffa back extension insert would not fit in place, shower leaked, assembly glue all over the bathroom countertop, garbage blowing out of the a/c vents evertime it is turned on, and on and on.There is absolutely no quality control. One person quoted on here " you must be harder on things than others" B.S. I travel down paved highways, never over 60 m.p.h. all 6 levelers are dropped before the slides are put out, I even go as far as waxing it twice a year! I have owned 9 new trailers now, and this Voltage by far, has had more problems than all the other 8 new trailers I have owned COMBINED. Being I have two mechanical licences, as well as failure analysis training, I know what I am talking about Rockerrider!

Dealers do a PDI when they first arrive and before they go out for sale. I saw our Raptor & Sightseer when they both first arrived. I was disgusted the shape the Raptor arrived in, dealer spent 2 days cleaning it up and fixing the things Keystone didn't. The Sightseer spent half a day, most of that was removing the plastic over the carpet and giving it a bath. Every manufacturer is different.

We then did our own PDI. The term has multiple meanings.

That's funny right there......A PDI means that YOU go over YOUR trailer and find everything that needs fixed before YOU sign the papers and write the check. Do you really think the dealer did anything at all in those three days? C'mon man.....no wonder you have so many problems-you expect someone else to take care of everything for you.

I did my own PDI....as most people do. Put a piece of tape on everything I wanted fixed. They fixed it all in the next couple days- then I went and did another PDI to make sure it was all fixed.

I get so sick of people going on a website like this to bash a manufacturer when they don't even do their own homework first.

THEY spent 3 days doing it, not me.Message me, I'll send you or anybody pictures that will make you shake your head.

3 days??? So you spent 24-30 hours at the dealer doing PDI? Uh huh...not likely.

Where did the OP go? Comes on here to bash Voltage then disappears.

Brought mine home from it's winter nap last night....been in storage since October. Generator fired up in about 3 seconds...furnance fired right up...fridge fired right up...all slides work great. Can't wait for it to warm up enough to use it again!!

Mine was PDI'd for 3 days. Took it home and them used it for 3 months. Back it went to the dealer for a LONG list of warranty. 6 monthe later, back again. The following spring, both slides were coming apart, so it was taken 1,000 south to Pendleton to get fixed at a factory.( and yes, it is level with all 6 jacks down everytime). They look "flashy" on the outside, but remove some inside covers, some air outlet vents, etc, and see what's behind. YOU WILL BE SHOCKED!Itis only a matter of time when the Schwintek slides jam up in the wall because the screw heads that hold the tracks to the slide sides rust and keep popping off, the cheap roller that support the bottom of the slides break because they are made of garbage material,and on and on. The problems are still endless with mine and only 2 years old. Private message me if you like, as I have tried posting photos on here, but no luck.

We got ours and it looks 10 years old.

Just no care in workmanship

Just alot wrong and feeling like I got cheated

Why did you buy a trailer that looked 10 years old.
These posts are nuts sometimes.
I was just getting ready to purchase a 3800. They look amazing. Flat glass. Real paint.
They were built very well in my opinion. I couldnt get over the wood under the slideouts...

I am looking into purchasing a Voltage 3800 and would be very interested in hearing about the issues you are having with the 3800. Can you give us more details?

I did a 3 1/2 hour PDI and then had them fix everything on my list before I wrote the check. Ours looked good, and we have had it back to the dealer once for a water leak. Our dealer here is very good, and we had had few issues with our 3905.

Nope...Love ours!! Few minor issues when it was new. Everything fixed prior to delivery. Of course I did a very detailed PDI.

How long have you had this trailer? Did you not look at it before taking delivery?
